    Sorry forgot to take pic before I started eating.  Pancakes came with bananas and a delicious whip cream.  So good!

    Walked in for breakfast. At first it looked empty but then we saw a few people at tables. Got a seat looking out at the ocean. Food was so good!!! Husband got breakfast burrito, daughter got Boring Breakfast and I got the pancakes. Food came out quick and hot! Ate so much and none of us could finish it all. Definitely going back!!! The atmosphere was very nice for breakfast. Looking out at the ocean. They had music on but not so loud it was a nice volume. So far I think it's our favorite Price was more of what were used to back home. Food, two coffees, and pineapple juice came to just over $61.

    Recently went ln vacation to hawaii and found this place in Oahu, after trying many many restaurants this one was the most filling, yummy and affordable place to eat for my family. We went tjere a total of three times while we stayed in hawaii. My food was amazing. The employees there were soo so nice, my mom ordered some red chilaquiles and there were wayyyyy too spicy for her so an employee offered her some green ones for free withouth having to ask. There is very cute beach view from the restaurant. Its usually quiet with music playing in the background and it doesn't get too crowded in there!

    Breakfast burrito with chorizo. Comes with side of beans and rice.

    Popped in for a quick breakfast snack after getting in some early morning beach time. I ordered the breakfast burrito with churizzo for the protein. Churizzo was spicy, a little greasy, but in the burrito it was very good. The server was great. The burrito came with beans and rice. Overall, hood meal and good service. I would definitely visit again.

    Pretty tasty!

    Service is great! Limited menu, but fish tacos are good and flavorful. Gotta add that spicy cilantro sauce... yes it's pretty hot. The chipotle sauce is tame in comparison. I don't like black beans so pinto beans are an alternative add some salt and they are good! Rice I added the cilantro sauce and my throat is on fire. I might need another margarita

    The size of the burrito is HUGE! It was very filling.

    Here again! Ordered their chicken enchiladas special and boyfriend got the carne asada and burrito. Both were delicious! We also got the carne asada fries. Loved that the fries were super crispy so it didn't get soggy. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned. Service was great. Orders were done correctly. Very casual atmosphere. You come in, order your food, they give you a number, find your own table and the food is served to you. One thing I noticed is that they put a net over the windows so the birds and bugs can't come in anymore. Nice place to have a meal.

    Went to Oahu Mexican Grill at 2520 Kalakaua Ave for Breakfast this morning. This was our first visit. The sign says Loco Moco, waitress says we discontinued that. So we ordered the boring breakfast and the local fried rice and two coffees. The coffees were whipped espresso and Coffee Cocoa. I can honestly say we will never return here again. The coffee was supposed to be hot and it was cold. I asked for it to be heated up but they don't have a microwave. The one girl made me a new one. This is why I gave them a one and not a zero. The food was hot but not tasty at all. The ambiance is old school Hawaiian fast food sit down. Wife got an upset stomach and ruined to rest of the day had to return to the hotel.

    If you're ever on Waikiki and need a break from the hotel and chain restaurants or Poke Bowls and Musubi, have we got a spot for you. OMG! No, that's the name OMG - Oahu Mexican Grill. They have two locations, we tried the one on the corner of Kalamaua and Ohua. There's signage, but it's upstairs and easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. This is the Hawaiian version of Chipotle, but with way more options. Tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, or pineapple-stuffed carnitas, it's all the Mexican food staples in a fast casual, order from the counter, customize how you want it, restaurant. They make it to order, using fresh ingredients, and the food tastes like it. They won't scrimp either. One order might make a couple of meals for a lot of folks. We have a high bar for Mexican food, and this place exceeds it every time we go. Tender meats, rice, beans, all seasoned perfectly, and flavorful salsa. Mexican food doesn't need to be over complicated to be good. OMG realized this and delivers a great product. Given this location, it's very touristy, but don't let that cause you to pass it by. The staff have always been friendly and willing to accommodate. Yes, you will pay a location premium, but it's definitely worth it. Just so you know and one day your children will know... when u get a burrito to go for ur hike a diamond head ... that burrito will be the highest a burrito has ever been and that's the night the lights went out in Georgia .... I mean Honolulu , lmfao

    This is mango margarita. Yea, it looks pathetic.

    Pros: -next to ocean (although view is somewhat obstructed by trees) Cons: - food was very bland. Like food truck or else. At first I thought it's a fast food joint. Definitely not high quality restaurant. -tiny water cups provided -staff was not rude but didn't go out of their way to explain their menu when we asked since it was our first time there. Very poor customer service. Nobody asked us to refill our drinks and when we asked for more water, waiter literally just showed his hand towards a water station. Kinda embarrassing. Overall verdict: -SKIP, unless desperately looking for very average fast food experience.

    Burrito bowl with steak, queso, corn, onions!

    Fast to order, order in a line. Food was excellent in taste, temp, and quality. And the atmosphere is great, ocean view, open concept, and on the second floor tucked away.

    Friendly customer service, cool location, fun decor and nice views! The food was delicious, and yes those nachos are definitely shareable. But what I absolutely love most about this restaurant is the commitment to creating training opportunities and promoting independence for those with different needs and abilities, I didn't know that until we entered the restaurant and I saw the sign but I can tell you right now, had I known that before this would have made my list as a place to try regardless.

    Great garlic shrimp plate, but my companion's beef tacos contained low quality meat. Margaritas were okay for the price. Great view of the ocean! Friendly staff!

    Oahu Mexican Grill (OMG) is a chipotle-esque restaurant located near downtown Waikiki. There's some indoor seating and the ambiance can be described as casual. The staff was a bit mean to my family and I when we were ordering and didn't have a good system for to-go orders. They packaged our food poorly and had attitudes when we asked for sauces on the side. The food wasn't that flavorful but was reasonably priced for the quantity. It's close to the hotels and is one of the few Mexican food options in the area. I wouldn't come back to dine-in or place a to-go order here.

    No this place is like Chipotle. Step up and order from behind the sneeze-guard. No reservations. The line does get long though so be prepared.

    Where is parking? Do they validate?

    No, they don't validate. The best parking option is a paved parking lot area near the zoo & it's only $2. It's a short walk to OMG. Here is the address near the parking lot:… Read more

I ordered the carbonara which was creamy and delicious. I'm not italian so i don't know how authentic it was but it was GOOD. My date ordered a salad with Korean Fried Chicken and beets. I don't know anything about beats but the KFC was FANTASTIC. Sugary deliciousness. We had a slice of olive oil cake with a spoon of rocky road to go with it. OMG. The olive oil cake is so delicious. It's almost like a pound cake but i guess made with olive oil so it also had this nice crust to it. But I would come back every single day for the rocky road ice cream. It was just rocky road but it was really good. Prices were average for honolulu. And service was good, not great. I guess the inside is pretty spacious in terms of tables but they pack you in like sardines so you can't help but be in your neighbors conversation. And it's a bit loud. So maybe not the ideal first date unless you go at an off hour where it's less crowded. Or maybe the bar seating would also work. 10/10 would 100% recommend to anyone.

The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs!

Ambiance: We were seated outside but it was covered and well-ventilated. The place is well-maintained and clean, and has a "local brunch place" vibe which I liked. Parking: We lucked out and got parking at the available space by their lot, around 11am on a Saturday. There's also street parking available.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
